OIL FILTER

[mon]

the oil filter on German Swedish & French is it the same as the reno one??

i.e same make everthing.. got the coolant from there and that was exact same stuff :shock:

[BenR]

yes, purflux.

[mon]

have you had one from th :shock: ere?

[Lunner]

If you get the champion one for a williams it has a nut on the top to remove it :D

[mon]

not really a champion fan there spark plugs are crap.. sooner go for the gsf filter

but like you say is has a nut on the end .. alot easyer to get off .. i have a chain oil remover but still hard

[Lunner]

Hard, its nigh on impossible on a valver/williams.

At the end of the day an oil filter is an oil filter

[mon]

yea easyer with a ramp.. i have some of the drive up ones but they are to steep..

the cheap oil filters have on inner filter ( look inside you see a small one )

also you get the wrong pressure of them better staying with the make renault use

[BenR]

normal filter is fine, just dont do it upto 20 million lbs.ft.

Gap between offside headlight and rad, under the slam panel, i can just squeeze/scrap half my forearm in there....apply the talon grips and do the filter from there.

same as me^^^^^^^^ but fingers usually do the trick of undoing em..at the expense of a bit of forearm skin usually..lol

[Lunner]

Guess thats the advantge of having small hands/arms, i can just about get in from the bottem, btu really can't get a grip on anythng

[mon]

show me a pic of them talon grips or are they plumbers wrenches?

[BenR]

i'm chinses, so contorsionism was part of PE in HK.

:P

[mon]

i can get my hand on it but once you grip it is hard to turn .. i ussally use a ramp but i want to try it this way..

[Lunner]

TH i swore last tiem i worked on a valver i would never touch one again, i've got masses or room in my RSi engine bay compared to a valver
